Its not an opinion It’s wrong. Look at the damn numbers in the OP and what Clark said

Are y’all this dumb?

“Aaron Rodgers’s is younger than Mahomes”

Guys, it’s just prides opinion. You can’t really say he is wrong for that

The issue is that people think Jefferson is less of an athlete because he was a three star recruit that we as LSU fans love to push.

They forget the fact a big reason he was a three star recruit wasn’t his physical ability. It was the fact they didn’t think he would be able to qualify academically to play and a lot of schools backed off of him because of that.

Facts

Faster-Jefferson
Bigger-Jefferson
Jumps higher-Jefferson
Taller-Pickens

Once again, all of those things above are facts. If you say the opposite of any of those things above, you are wrong. It’s not an opinion, or hot take, etc, it’s just wrong

He is just as dumb as when he said it the first time.

This is so lazy

Ryan Clark didn’t pull some skip Bayless with an outlandish opinion, he simply is saying wrong measurable facts because he is ignorant. It’s 100% not the same thing

What Bayless does is hokey and dumb, but it’s a bit. Clark is just ignorant.

Not sure why any LSU fan would care for what Ryan Clark says...

it's not about a reaction, he will just never admit that he was wrong. So will keep talking around the facts

Then why pay attention to him?


I agree with you-he’s wrong about all that. The facts don’t lie.

Don’t pay attention to him and move on.

There is nothing wrong with saying that..josh smith that played with the nba hawks was a better athlete than jordan,but not a better player




There is nothing wrong with saying that Pickens is taller but he said things that are quantifiable and wrong. Would it be OK to say that Josh Smith was shorter than Jordan or a better free throw shooter when both are quantifiable and wrong?

It would be harder to argue if he had said Pickens will be better in the NFL but just hasn't had the opportunity to prove it yet because that is not yet quantifiable. Instead, he made assertions that are provably false.

You are “paying attention to him” right now….

I scroll Twitter. I saw his post. Should I do a Men In Black memory scrub everytime I see his name?

This is a misunderstanding created by imprecise language. Does Pickens have more upside potential? Maybe. He is a physical specimen. Is Pickens *better* than JJ right now? Nope.

I wouldn’t have a problem with him saying has *more potential* (again, maybe…) but JJ is better today.

There's probably several people in the NFL that are stronger, taller, more physically gifted than JJ, but that doesn't make them better than JJ.

Look at Steve Smith for example. Dude was always smaller, not as strong, not as fast. That was what the experts saw. But that dude has that DOG in him, and every gameday he just out smarted, out hustled, and just out toughed the CB's.

Justin Jefferson has a high football IQ, exceptional route running, ball skills, and high athleticism. He's better than Pickens because JJ just wants it more.

How?

By commenting in a thread you made and mentioned his name?


I haven’t seen the guy on tv in years. I don’t pay attention to him and I don’t plan on doing so.


Again, I’m agreeing with you that’s he’s wrong.

Who cares?

Do what you want.

However I’d hardly be inclined to start a thread about someone who’s obviously wrong. But that’s just me.

So this is why Clark looks so damn dumb. Even when he explains what he meant, he is just lazy as shite and doesn’t even do his own job. One minute of research would have met him know he is wrong

Pretty obvious that he's trolling for clicks at this point. Just ignore like you would a Glenn Dildeau article.
